Abstract
Petri Net is a technique based on the graph theory leading to a network that can model parallel, concurrent and simultaneous activities in scheduling and then to solve the problems of deadlocks, overflows, tool management, etc. in a Flexible Manufacturing System (FMS). Such issues are being solved both in terms of qualitative and quantitative aspects of an FMS and evaluated easily by the Petri Net models. The paper presents a brief survey of sixty seven published research papers related to Petri Nets (PN) in modelling of FMS and its modules to solve the different kinds of issues.
